SprintRetro

SprintRetro is a free Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives directly inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity, predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time) into a collaborative retro board and — since a mid-2026 expansion — adds an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator, alongside templates, anonymous voting, action items that carry over between retros, GIFs, kudos, polls, and icebreakers. A separate paid Pro listing exists for advanced features.

SprintRetro pitches itself as the data-first retro workspace that lives inside Jira, built on Atlassian Forge so the whole experience stays in Jira Cloud — no external app, no extra login, no data egress.

"SprintRetro is a continuous-improvement workspace for Jira — combining retros, whiteboards, sprint metrics, team health, AI facilitation, and action follow-through."

The 2026 Marketplace copy is broader than the original "bring real sprint data into the retro" pitch: alongside velocity, carryover, scope-change and cycle-time metrics, the listing now advertises an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator that finds themes, rephrases notes, suggests actions and summarizes discussions. Templates are the familiar Scrum staples (Start-Stop-Continue, 4Ls, Mad-Sad-Glad) plus a Team Radar and custom boards. The voice stays practical and engineering-led — and a separate paid Pro listing now sits alongside the free app.

If you are a small Scrum team on Jira Cloud and your bar is "a working retro board that costs nothing," SprintRetro clears it — and it has grown up fast. The Jira-native sprint metrics remain the standout you do not get from generic retro tools, and the free app now adds a whiteboard, timers, anonymous team-health pulse checks and a light AI facilitator on top of the engagement basics (templates, anonymous voting, action carryover, kudos, GIFs, polls, icebreakers). It ships constantly — v4.42.0 landed 1 July 2026 — so this is anything but abandonware.

Two honest caveats. First, the newer capabilities are advertised on the Atlassian Marketplace listing but not yet on the vendor's own homepage, and the free-versus-Pro split is undocumented — the AI facilitator in particular may sit behind the paid Pro app, so verify before you count on it. Second, the ceiling is still a single Jira instance: no Slack, Teams, or Confluence hooks, no async or presentation mode, no scheduled retros, and no cross-team reporting. Enterprise buyers will bounce on the absent SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 and audit logs.

A free, Jira-native retro that has quietly become more capable — best for one team that already lives in Jira, not yet a platform for continuous improvement across an org.
